Originally practiced for a club tournament on Kerr Lake and fished rocky and stump-filled secondary points in the upper end of the lake. But, heavy rain the day and night before the tournament dropped water temperatures by 4 degrees and rose lake levels by 3 feet. We expected to find bass moving towards the main lake to enjoy the summer; however, many bass moved towards the banks and into tight cover, where we fished swim jigs, spinnerbaits, and Texas-rigged Zoom brush hogs. We also caught a few on Zara Spooks over rocky main lake points before we transitioned to the banks.

Water was very high - 6' over the bank due to all the recent rain. The water around Occoneechee State Park was very muddy. Fished the drop offs and rip rap in front of the Hotel/Restaurant above and below the bridges. Additional fish came on the banks around the marina. Slow day all around - even got a few catfish on the same speed worm.
